104 NEW AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



with black. Palpi fuscous, internally white, second joint exter- 

 nally whitish at base. Legs whitish, sprinkled with fuscous; 

 anterior pair more fuscous-tinged. Abdomen fuscous, segmental 

 margins silvery-grey. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa gently 

 arched, hindmargin obliquely rounded; ashy-grey in <^, strongly 

 suffused with white in ^, so as to become almost wholly whitish, 

 a moderate snow-white streak along costa, from very near base to 

 apex, finely attenuated at extremities; extreme costal edge from 

 base to ^, fuscous; a suffused spot of fuscous on inner margin at 

 ^; a second in middle of wing; a third somewhat larger, slightly 

 below and beyond second ; costal streak edged more or less 

 throughout with a fine fuscous line; a fine fuscous hindraarginal 

 line; in ^ all these markings are obscured by general ground- 

 colour, but sometimes there are a few indications of accumulations 

 of fuscous scales along veins and hindmargin : cilia in 9 dark 

 fuscous; in ^ greyish-ochreous, mixed with fuscous. Hindwings 

 in (J greyish-ochreous, fuscous-tinged round margins; in Q dark 

 fuscous; cilia ochreous-grey-whitish, with a fine fuscous basal line; 

 in 2 greyish-fuscous, with a very distinct dark fuscous line close 

 to base. 



Broken Hill, N.S.W.; nine specimens during October, usually 

 taken at light. 



Althovigh the sexes of this species differ somewhat in size and 

 appearance, it is an easily recognised species, varying very little. 

 It recalls Scieropepla argoloma, Lower, in general appearance. 



A curious deformity is noticeable in one of my specimens, 

 wherein the neuration of the forewings consists of nine veins 

 instead of eight, the extra one being formed by the very short 

 stalking vein 7.
